Morning Line: Take Time Out!
“…. stop here yourself for a while, that I may make known to you the word of God.” 1 Samuel 9:27 (NRSVCE)
‘Here’s an ancient Scripture with a modern message: ‘As they were going down to…the city, Samuel said to Saul…‘stand thou still a while, that I may show thee the word of God.’’
Today we are told that in order to succeed we must hit the floor running at a hundred miles an hour, and keep it up until we collapse. And what’s the downside to all this? Our walk with the Lord slows to a crawl or stops altogether. Our busyness leads to spiritual barrenness. When that’s happening to you, you need to say: ‘Time out!
Refuse to put your spiritual life on autopilot, mouthing meaningless prayers and leafing through a Bible, that’s neither studied nor lived by, choose to pay whatever price it takes to walk with God.’ Doing that will not be easy, you’ll have to start saying no to certain things and run the risk of displeasing people. But you’ll find peace with God in a position to hear what He’s saying to you. Nobody ever said the Christian walk is easy, but it is more important and more rewarding than anything you can do.
Let God’s, Holy Spirit write on the tablet of your heart and spirit and find what a truly rewarding life can be.
”Then the Lord answered me and said: “…
For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end and does not lie.
If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay. Habakkuk 2:2-3 (NRSVCE)
“and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:19-21 (NRSVCE)
